Soddies in Yemen to question Ahdal
Saudi agents arrived in Sanaa on Thursday to follow up investigation of Muhammad Hamdi Al-Ahdal or Abu Asem, a top Al-Qaeda operative who was arrested by Yemeni police two weeks ago. âThe visit comes in the framework of the security agreement between the two countries,â Yemeni sources said. The sources, however, denied reports that Saudi Arabia had requested Ahdalâs extradition because of his alleged role in the terrorist attacks in the Kingdom. Saudi authorities have tightened security measures in their bid to capture terror suspects and prevent them from using forged documents. The Interior Ministry earlier instructed car rentals, hotels, furnished residential apartments and rest houses to inform it about people renting their vehicles and living in their facilities. Ibrahim Muhammad Al-Rayyes, one of the wanted militants who was killed in a shootout with security forces in Riyadh last Monday, was carrying false papers.
